Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 449

Andre, who had always been keeping an eye on her, took a step forward as he was worried about Clara's body.

But then he suddenly stopped. Something occurred to him. He put on a wry smile and then got back to where he stood.

Horace and Clara were both hearing Laura's words. No one noticed Andre's move apart from himself.

Hearing Horace's words, Laura smiled awkwardly and then said slowly, "I did realize I had to resort to Kirkland Group. But by then you were just as young as me and you were not in power. You didn't have your own shares. How would you help me?"

Horace's face turned dark as he said her words. He did hate Laura as an evil woman. But he had to admit that when he was young, he did love Laura so much. For the young Horace, she was more important than anyone else in this world apart from Russell.

If she came to him for help, he would definitely beg his grandpa to help Hutchinson Corp. His grandpa would agree to help, he believed.

But back then in her mind, he was no one but a useless playboy. She didn't even try to seek help from him.

"So, you turned to Sean for help?" Clara continued her words for her. That's why they would conspire with each other to kidnap Horace?

Laura avoided her eyes and said in a trebling voice, "Yes. I found Sean as he was the only one who could help me. If Kirkland Group could cooperate with Hutchinson Corp, Hutchinson Corp would come back to life."

Then she continued with mockery in her tone, "But I also knew Sean wouldn't help me without any cost. No one would help someone else without benefits. That's the law."

"So, what did he ask you to do?" Horace clenched his hands into fists and said those words word by word. He could guess the end of the story. But he wasn't willing to believe the two would do such an evil thing to him.

Laura looked at Horace with tears in her eyes. Then his angry face scared her. She lowered her head and mumbled, "So… so I make a deal with Sean. I said if he could help us out, I will help him to eliminate his biggest enemy, that is, you, his younger brother."

Then she raised her head to explain to Horace, "Horace, I only did this to persuade him. I had no intention to set you up. Trust me! I just needed his help."

Though Clara had told him that Laura and Sean planned that kidnap together, Horace was still astonished as he heard those words from Laura herself.

Laura and him were both in deep love with each other. But to save the Hutchinson's family, to save her luxurious life, she was even willing to kill him.

Clara stared at Laura confusedly. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know why Laura would have such a weird thought.

After all, she cared about herself more than Horace. But she wouldn't admit that and she was trying to use her so-called love for Horace as her excuse.

"Go ahead," Horace said coldly. No one knew how he felt right now.

"I did love you, Horace, trust me. I just couldn't let my family go bankrupt. I swear to God, I have never planned to take your life. I lied to Sean only to…"

Laura couldn't tell his feeling from his face so she just kept finding excuses. But before her explanation finished, Horace interrupted her.

"Go ahead!" Horace finally sounded impatient and he said loudly with rage. She didn't try to take his life? That's funny. If he didn't escape, he wouldn't have had the chance to stand here and listen to her explanation.

Now he just wanted to know how his brother and his ex-girlfriend had conspired to trap him.
